Apple Cinnamon cut-outs!!!! With poem!

This one is a little more work than I expected.....but worth it!

11 tbsp. cinnamon
7 tbsp. warm applesauce
1 plastic straw

ribbon

cookie cutters

jewels or other crafts to decorate

glue (if needed for decorations)

Mix cinnamon with applesauce to dough like consistency. Roll on wooden surface to about 1/4 inch thickness - cut cookie cutter. We used Christmas cookie cutters (snowmen, Christmas tree, Santa, stocking, star, and gingerbread man)!

Use a plastic straw to make a hole at the top of each ornament. Bake at 140 degrees for 5 hours with stove door partially open or air dry 3-4 days - TURNING DAILY. Tie ribbon hanger through each ornament. Decorate!

 

You may have to add cinnamon but don't make it too dry.  They're a nice fragrant decoration.  You can also decorate them however you like.  The kids had a lot of fun!

 

 

 

 

The poem........

 

 

Ready or not it's time for more fun!

But not until your chores are done.

 

I heard you all talking about getting your tree!

Well, time to start a cleaning spree!

 

Pick up the toys and get the broom.

Then clean the floors and make some room!

 

Once the cleaning is all done,

then it's time to have some fun!

 

Mix apple and cinnamon, cut them out.

You will enjoy, without a doubt!

 

Time to bake and decorate.

Boy this craft will be really Great!

 

String them with ribbon, when they're done.

This craft is sure to be the best one!

 

Love your elf,

P.S. Love your chains!

(we did the chains the night before so I added this, obviously discard this part if you didn't!)
